Watermelon and Halloumi

I love grilled cheese! But… I didn't know that you could actually grill cheese!! Halloumi is a great grilling cheese, and the contrasting textures of the watermelon!! YUM! Here is the recipe:

Watermelon and Halloumi
Serves 4-5

1 teaspoon minced shallot
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
Salt
1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon of honey
1/2  cup plus 1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 tablespoons of sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons of freshly chopped mint
8 small wedges of seedless watermelon triangles, rind removed
8 ounces of halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices

Place the shallot and garlic in a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add the vinegar and honey, and whisk. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of olive oil, then add the almonds and the mint.
Place the watermelon in a shallow dish. Pour the dressing on top, cover, and let it marinate 1 hour in the fridge.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the halloumi 1 minute per side, then remove from the pan; top each with a piece of marinated watermelon and enjoy!
